"What do you want to do?"
Being the granddaughter of the Sunan King was not much of a secret for Su Jiu’er.
Su Jiu’er also believed that it wasn’t hard for anyone with a motive to find out if they investigated a little.
Since King Yan himself admitted that the underground activities in the three provinces of Jiangnan were his doing, why would he still capture her?
Su Jiu’er couldn’t understand.
King Yan wasn’t in a hurry though: "Lady Su, in many people’s eyes, I’m just a dog of the Azure Dragon Comrce, and that bothers a lot."
"As for Duan Nanye’s plans, I can generally guess. Bringing you and the boy with the surna Ye here is nothing more than to make wary of your family’s identity so that I wouldn’t dare to harm you."
At this point, King Yan lightly shook his head: "But he forgot one thing, I’m the King Yan of Yama Hall, a devil who specializes in taking lives. If pushed too hard, I can do anything."
"However, I don’t want to make things difficult for a beauty like you, Lady Su. Having you here now doesn’t really serve any purpose."
"It’s just that my vision is too small. Although I’ve been King Yan for a few years, in many people’s eyes, I’m just a minor character. Even in Mr. Su’s eyes, I’m probably just a small fish. But everyone has their aspirations, that’s unavoidable. I may look unpleasant, but I consider myself talented. If I could beco the son-in-law of the Su Family, that should be enough, right?"
"What did you say?"
Su Jiu’er was completely stunned.
What did King Yan an?
Putting aside his yin and yang face, wasn’t he in his forties?
He actually wanted to beco the son-in-law of the Su Family?
The Sunan King, in the Southwest Region, was equivalent to a high-ranking official. To beco a son-in-law of the Su Family naturally ant being a person of extraordinary status.
But how could King Yan co up with such completely irrelevant ideas?
The Su Family would never acknowledge the head of a band of assassins as one of their own.
Su Jiu’er’s expression changed.
Soon, she thought of a terrifying possibility.
She shook her head vigorously: "You’re dreaming, I won’t call my grandfather."
King Yan smiled: "Miss Su, since you’re here, you don’t have a choice."
He pointed casually at the other assassins in the living room: "Look at these people, they’re all assassins wanted by your Dragon Teeth. Their prices on the wanted list are quite high. In many people’s eyes, they’re demons, beasts. If they get excited and do sothing to you, I won’t be able to answer to Sunan King!"
His words were a blatant threat.
Despair washed over Su Jiu’er’s face.
As a maiden, Su Jiu’er understood the aning behind King Yan’s words even if she hadn’t experienced much in life.
If those vicious n played with her, she’d rather die than tarnish her family’s reputation.
She bit her lip and gripped her own throat: "If you dare to do anything, I’ll strangle myself."
But as soon as Su Jiu’er said this, Chen Huang had already approached and grabbed her arm.
Su Jiu’er struggled but found it futile.
"Do you think it’s that easy to commit suicide?" King Yan shook his head lightly: "It’s just a phone call. I want to talk to Sunan King, what’s the big deal? Why so scared?"
"Oh, and you’ve probably heard, my patience is limited. If you don’t make that call soon, I can’t guarantee my n won’t do sothing untoward." King Yan squinted his eyes.
Chen Huang licked his lips and brought his face close to Su Jiu’er’s neck, taking a deep breath: "Miss Su, your body slls so good."
Su Jiu’er felt a wave of nausea.
Her stomach churned, and she felt incredibly sick.
Even though she was extrely unwilling, Su Jiu’er had no other choice.
She had to pick up the phone and dial Sunan King’s number.
That number was known only to the Su Family.
Su Jiu’er hoped that King Yan would be intimidated by her grandfather and not dare to harm her.
As soon as the call connected, Su Jiu’er cried out: "Grandfather, King Yan kidnapped and is threatening !"
But just as she spoke, King Yan snatched the phone from her.
There was silence on the other end.
King Yan laughed heartily: "Sunan King, I’m King Yan, sorry to bother you."
A deep voice ca through: "The head assassin of Yama Hall?"
King Yan didn’t care about Sunan King’s address for him: "Sunan King, we’re going to be family soon. How can you call that?"
"What do you want?" Sunan King didn’t want to waste words with King Yan.
When he heard Su Jiu’er’s voice, he knew sothing was wrong.
But as Sunan King, hadn’t he faced countless incidents?
Even though Su Jiu’er was his most beloved granddaughter, he couldn’t teleport across the miles just because of a phone call.
The priority was to figure out King Yan’s intention and then respond accordingly.
King Yan wasn’t in a hurry.
Having Su Jiu’er was his bargaining chip to negotiate with Sunan King.
"Mr. Su, you know, when I was young and reckless, I gathered a group of brothers. In this world, many people see as a villain, and it troubles greatly." King Yan said this while massaging his temples as if truly troubled.
"Although I joined the Azure Dragon Comrce and gained the favor of the president, I can tell that he would never fully utilize . My identity makes many people hate ; even Dragon Teeth sees as a mortal enemy."
"And those so-called legitimate figures all see as their nesis."
At this point, King Yan looked regretful: "It was youthful impulse back then, but now I want to reform, yet I can’t find an opportunity. I didn’t expect Miss Jiu’er to co to Jinling, and then I realized, heaven is helping ."
"You talk so much, what do you really want to say?"
Sunan King, although he had a rough idea, couldn’t be sure.
King Yan grinned: "Grandfather, it’s simple. I need an identity. If I could beco your grandson-in-law, my past could be wiped clean, and I could start anew."
"You’re dreaming!"
Su Jiu’er felt her world spinning.
How could she not understand King Yan’s aning?
In this world, background and connections matter.
Great families are places everyone desperately wants to enter.
As the grandson-in-law of the Su Family, even Dragon Teeth would have to think twice before touching King Yan.
Even within Azure Dragon Comrce, it would be much more convenient.
While King Yan had joined Azure Dragon Comrce, it was officially just a comrce association. Heavy reliance on King Yan would attract criticism.
So he was best suited for handling underground affairs.
But no matter what, King Yan’s identity could never see the light.
Su Jiu’er wanted to struggle but couldn’t break free from Chen Huang’s grip.
Sunan King naturally understood King Yan’s motives.
He wanted to shelter under the Su Family’s influence.
"Haha, who would’ve thought that the infamous King Yan would consider my Su Family worthy." After a mont of silence, Sunan King laughed.
In the next second, his tone turned stern: "But our Su Family’s honor cannot be compromised by a re junior. If you think your notorious self can be my grandson-in-law, you’re dreaming."
King Yan expected this response, and replied sinisterly: "Mr. Su, I’m not here to negotiate. Miss Su is with . If things get out of hand, and she ends up carrying my child, what then?"
